Social concerns are mostly absent in fisheries management practices. This causes legitimacy issues, based on the gap between the rhetoric of commitments for ecologically sustainable development, the social aspects of fisheries management and the actual actions of fisheries management bodies. Evidence supports that incorporating social dimensions into the design of management approaches can overcome legitimacy deficits which plague conventional management that is typically based on environmental or economic objectives alone. A systems approach considers the ecological, social and political components of a problem to be inter-related and dynamic. Functionally, it has many advantages because of its focus on learning and its ability to accommodate complexity and plurality, which is a feature of most conservation problems. However, designing, conducting, and mainstreaming integrated management has its own set of challenges, including accessing relevant research and conditioning managers to using interdisciplinary research in management decisions.This thesis develops the field of fisheries management by demonstrating the ways that social scientific methods can be used for assessing fisheries as socioecological systems and evaluating different management options. These methods can help overcome system complexities and legitimacy constraints that to date have constrained management processes from being as equitable, efficient, and effective as they could be. The project employed various methods, including qualitative modelling, semi-structured interviews, surveys, and document analysis across two case studies: the southern king crab fishery in Chile, and the eastern rock lobster in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. This work provides practical insights and tools to integrate social dimensions in fisheries management, which turns research into something managers can use. The project also generates new insights into the key actions of management that typically fall short.This thesis is empirically novel, providing an in-depth analysis of the complexity of the legitimacy deficits that influence the effectiveness of fisheries management in the two case studies. It does so through a systems lens and interdisciplinary techniques in the context of improving base information and decision support for fisheries managers and policymakers. It also provides a critical component to the adaptive management cycle by providing mechanisms for learning, such as reviewing management interventions' performance in achieving stated and emerging objectives. However, this research is not just for other researchers and policy makers.Fisheries managers are at the front lines of implementing management, and without practical advice and support, mindsets related to management are unlikely to change.An analysis of Australian legal frameworks demonstrates that social performance is not clearly articulated or measured in an appreciable way in Commonwealth or State fisheries. This limits understanding of how fisheries are operating and the confidence that fisheries are being managed in accordance with the principles of ecologically sustainable development (ESD). Further, the use of a social cost-benefit framework in the NSW lobster fishery shows inequalities in the distribution of benefits, and draws inferences on how private and public benefits may be affected as a consequence of current management approaches and interactions with climate change disturbances. In the Chilean cases, modifying a common preference study approach revealed values and motivations that are important considerations for reforming the management of a fishery so that it can continue to sustain the artisanal fishing sector as well as rebuild a depleted resource. This analysis contributed to the development of scenarios for modelling, which demonstrated consequences and impacts of different policy and management settings, climate disturbances, and the potential of different management options on critical system variables. The lessons learned from modelled system responses tests assumptions of status quo management and provides proof of concept for alternative management approaches.Integrating social dimensions with fisheries management practices was demonstrated in several ways: improving current fisheries research methods to support an understanding of fisheries as socioecological systems, and generating new insights for researchers, policy makers and front-line fisheries managers, especially in relation to measurement, inequities and values and motivations. Incorporating social dimensions and genuinely integrating disciplines is a broader challenge still rife across the sciences and is critical across all natural resource management. This thesis offers a step in that direction.
